79 One of the complaints he faced from the
population was that the number of whores had so drastically dropped
that
the remaining ones could not put up with the demands for their
services! "I'm sure," assured North, "this situation will resolve
itself in time."
80 One afternoon North entered Spearonias' office. "I need your help,"
he announced. "Drop whatever you're doing and come with me."
81 The Peepian looked startled, but quickly obeyed.
82 "Where are we going?" he asked. "To do a little grave robbing!"
North explained.
83 They made their way to The Royal Crypts and on North's order they
were closed. Then, Spearonias and North went to The Resting Place of
Spearon's family. Removing the tools from the kit he had
brought, North opened the cover plates on Spearon's Spearos' and
Spearonias' crypts.
84 With Spearonias' help he removed the vessels containing their ashes,
and carefully sifted a measure of ashes from each capsule into
containers he had brought. Then, they sealed the containers and put
them back in place.
85 "May I ask what we're doing?" Spearonias inquired.
86 "You'll see!" North insisted. Leaving the Tombs they journeyed to
the nearest beam tube station and went up to
the shipyards directly to one of the workshops, where some Hashon
Workers were awaiting them.
87 North gave them the ashes, and they carefully mixed them into three
batches of molding mix they were preparing, then, poured the mix into
molds. "Come on," insisted North, "it takes two hours for the mix to
set. Let's go relax in the lounge."
88 Spearonias still wanted to know what North was doing, but North
would only comment that he would see.
